Clementine was Lee's moral compass. Every action he could've made, every choice was weighted on Clem.
Do you feed Clementine and give her an Energy Bar? Comfort her about her parents or tell her the truth? Tell her you're a murderer?
Do you fix the Swing for Clem? You go find her hat. You save her from eating human meat potentially. Do you feed her over working adults?
Do you cut her hair, teach her how to shoot, make a plan with her? Take her to Crawford?
She and Lee were a team, and Lee wanted children before everything broke out. His wife cheated on him, didn't want kids, and everything went down hill for him after he committed murder. Once that was done, he kept Clementine close and protected her. She was his redemption, the one thing he either protected or taught to survive. Sometimes both.
Clementine is alone now. She's taken what Lee and Christa have taught her (Christa has literally been with Clementine longer than Lee has. The only big time jump is a few months for Episode 2, and then after that everything happens within a week or two.)
Clementine has nothing to be redeemed for. She's Lee's living legacy. Clem is the one innocent thing left in this world to some extent. Whether you play her as sassy, or 'evil', she's hope. Pete and Luke save her out of kindness, Sarah wants a friend her age, Alvin gives a Juice Box over he didn't need to give, Rebecca eventually warms up to Clementine and trusts her somewhat, Carlos saves her life at the Ski Resort, Walter takes her advice, Nick listens to Clem, Kenny lets an entire group of strangers in because he remembers Clem and what she stands for. Omid risks his life to save Clem, and Christa even yells at Clem to run even if she's on the brink of being killed.
Clementine is a symbol of hope that makes people willing to die for her. And she's maturing rapidly as she's surviving. At the very end of the day, Clementine might die. It's a very real possibility. But the real question is, what this might inspire in other people who care and know for her? Will they feel guilt, or will they feel anger? Will they live their lives entirely different because this one young bright girl died? Or will there be no one left to remember her, if she does die alone?
Personally I don't think Telltale is going to kill Clementine. I think she's going to survive. But I don't think that's necessarily a good thing. We'll see if Episode 3 aka the middle will change our views.
I can't remember where, but in some interview I'm sure it mentioned that when they did 400 Days it'd felt weird, because it was different characters compared to season 1 [I think they were talking about season 2 with where to go with it if to start fresh or something. Darn it I wish I could find the thing.] But about narration was what I think it was about. Where say in the tv series, Rick and his son and a few others have been there since the first episodes in season 1. Other characters have come in and become part of the 'main cast' too, but Rick and Carl are still an important part of it along with the others.
If they were to kill Clementine in season 2, it would be a bad call. Lee would've died for nothing, and any development on her character in becoming a toughened survivor in a crazy world would just be thrown right out the window. That's why I don't think they'll kill her...yet.
Will they torture her and make her life a living hell on the other hand? Yep, probably T___T
Clementine is strong and Lee reassured her of this fact. If she isn't already mentally broken after the 16 month time skip then nothing will bring her to that point.
Yes, I just hope she doesn't end up traumatized, that would be worse than death. She just has to hold on to the hope Lee shared with her and survive until this is over, whenever that will be.
I think it's perfectly possible that Clementine might die at the end of this season or in general, but Telltale need to make her death more meaningful than Lee's on a large scale if they make her die, in my opinion at least. If she has to die, make her worth something, even in death.
If Clem is going to die it will be the season finale but if I was Telltale I will do that in season 3, I DONT HATE CLEM, I will cry but if she is going to die let it by a worthy died, you remember what you have done in the last seasons of the TWD, who you saved somebody or let go and when you was crying. Let Clem be happy at the end... This are my words and my opinion.
I say yes AND no. I love the characters Telltale created, I love Lee, and Kenny, and Clementine. I have become very attatched to Kenny and Clementine specifically. The death of Clem would erase everything Lee has taught her, unless Clementine projects that onto another person, Lee would have died in vain, but also not, because he has likely greatly prolonged Clementine's life. My other worry about killing Clementine is that it would not be done well, but if it is, I am okay with it.
TL;DR: If they do it meaningfully, and well, I am okay with Clementine passing away near the end of the series.
Unless she takes more of a leadership role during the last three episodes, I don't think so. For the theme of this section of twd, the arch is full dependency to partially dependency to either full independence or leadership so I'd say one more season, but if this one is not too well received or estimated cash flow is not worth it to them I could see them kill her off. Personally I'd say no, but I'm not sure if TTG should keep her as themain protagonist.

No , I want another season of her as an adult

Each of us would be screaming internally, as Clementine's death brings life to a stand still. We all rage and attack TellTale for their lazy plots!!
Depends on how it happens.
If she dies just suddenly like just randomly shot in the head, then no.
But if they handle it well and make it a good ending, then yes.

NO NO NO
I don't know if I could take it if Clem died. Externally I'd seem fine but on the inside...
If Clem dies nobody gonna play season 3 I think
If Clem is going to die it will be the season finale but if I was Telltale I will do that in season 3, I DONT HATE CLEM, I will cry but if she is going to die let it by a worthy died, you remember what you have done in the last seasons of the TWD, who you saved somebody or let go and when you was crying.

URBANKENNY32 IS BACK RUN
Nope
Oké master

Maybe your life, but not mine
I doubt there will be a season 3. but i really don't know.

If the make it it will probably the last season
